Synopsis
In The Perfect Assessment System, Rick Stiggins calls for the ground-up redevelopment of assessment in U.S. education. Speaking from more than 40 years of experience in the field, the author maps out the adjustments in practice and culture necessary to generate both accurate accountability data and the specific evidence of individual mastery that will support sound instructional decision making and better learning in the classroom. He addresses
- Assessment purpose
- Learning targets to be assessed
- Assessment quality
- Communication of assessment results
- Assessment impact
If you want to explore assessment’s true potential to enhance both school quality and student well-being, join the critical conversation about assessment and discover a course for a new system that promises much higher levels of student success at a fraction of our current testing costs.
